Hey All,

Then you have to love me.

JT.

Let me introduce you to a little word: ascetic

Here's the dictionary definition:
* http://www.dictionary.com/search?q=ascetic&r=2

A person who renounces material comforts and leads a life of austere self-discipline, especially as an act of religious devotion.
adj.
Leading a life of self-discipline and self-denial, especially for spiritual improvement. See Synonyms at severe.
Pertaining to or characteristic of an ascetic; self-denying and austere: an ascetic existence.

This person is just another example of people who like to deny themselves the things they've earned to prove just how spiritual they are. The JW Borganization is full of them.

Wait five years, when this man finds out he gave up a job that would provide for his family, all to sell books and mags for a whorish organization.

He'll be on this board, perhaps as the next "Mad Apostate" [8>]

It's pronounced "a-set-tick" Class

Nice thread title JT. This is SICK!
They want you to think that Jah somehow saved him from the WTC disaster.

This is surely just so much sensationalism based on anecdotal evidence. It's used all the time to promote bogus products. For example, weight loss products."So-and-so lost 50 pounds eating dirt, and so will you." Why don't they relate any anecdotes about someone who pioneered all their lives, then died from a disease because they didn't have insurance and were reluctant to get a check-up. It cuts both ways. I finally realize that the so-called "spiritual paradise" is a very carefully crafted image, nothing more. The very opposite picture could be painted by using such anecdotes, a picture of broken marriages, dead babies and children who hate their parents. The truth lies somewhere in between.

Elsewhere

That is some of the dumbest reasoning I have ever heard! The GB is strongly suggesting that the man's live was spared by the sky gawd because he didn't take the secular job.

They fail to realize that the statement also implies that the sky gawd was punishing all the people who died.

They actually think that they saved this man’s life because he decided to give up his carrier to serve their multinational corporation (WTBTS). The man being alive today is called “Dumb Luck”. Nobody had anything to do with his survival; he just happened to be in the right place at the right time, nothing more.

The GB is sick and arrogant!

Believe in yourself, not mythology.

JT,

Great advice from one David Splane, a man who probably doesn't even have a checkbook, never paid down a mortgage or put braces on his kid's teeth.
All I know that for all their lionizing of meetings, special events, etc., most Bethelites have honed the missing of meetings, invoking bogus Bethel work loads as an excuse, to the level of fine art. When they sent me up the Watchtower Farm to work on a Top Priority project, my overseers would laugh if I were to have the temerity to request a breack from my sun-up to sunset, seven-day-a-week work schedule in order to attend a meeting.

Yet, to the rank and file, they continue to hew to the company line about how ``vital'' such nonsensical gatherings are, and smirk as the dubs swallow it hook line and sinker.

The Watchtower system glorifies fiscal irresponsibility and underachievement.

EXCELLENT POINT

You know who i often think of-- all the jw who lost thier jobs back in the 40,50,60

do you recall those 9/7/5 day district conventions where men didn;t have the type of vacation time that many have now and they were told if they went they would lose thier jobs
and the kick in some cases esp back in those days

if you were assigned to the second week and your boss told you that you could take the first week off the jw due to being loyal and going when jah assigned him to go would say i can't go the first week i must go the second since that is WHEN MY CONGO IS ASSIGNED AND I MUST WORK WITH THE ARRAGNEMENT OF THE FDS

at the boss would ask WELL IS THE PROGRAM THE SAME

and the jw would say well yes it is but i can't go the first week

at that point the boss would realize that despite the fact that Fred Hall was a good, hard,honest and on time employee---

he realize he had a "Damn Fool" worlking for him and just figured if Fred is that Thick i dont want him working here for me

o no my dear friend as our DO used to say : Bro how should we view SUGGESTIONS BY THE SLAVE?----- as LAW__

SO THEY were not "Sugggesting" as you tried to kindly put it- go ahead and just call a spade a spade the message in the mind of all those Bethelites and the tons of congo who would now hear this exp in talks will walk away knowing full well that he lived cause he chose to sell worthless books
